Description

is there any documentation on what the various metric published by micrometer mean? I am making a lot of guesses but don't actually know for sure what they are relaying.

Research direction
Examine the MicrometerCapability class in the Feign codebase (likely in feign core or feign micrometer module) to identify all reported metrics. Review Micrometer's official documentation for guidance on describing metrics. The issue requests documentation on what each metric means; consider creating a new documentation page or adding comments/README entries. Check existing tests in the same module to infer metric semantics.
